Yea Alonso is my favorite too... Idk I guess it just came from remember him sucking with BAR and then winning the championship with Brawn which one can easily attribute more to the car than you can in other seasons - he only became successful after having a car that was far and away better than everyone elses and I figured it'd normalize and he'd go back to a mid-front runner, but it seems like he's learned a lot and is a much better driver than I thought

Brawn didn't even get lucky - Ross took the double-decker diffuser issue up with the FIA in the off season basically saying "look there's a way to exploit this" and they elected not to change the rule, so he was like notevenmad.png and raped everyone, and Button was the one who got lucky IMO.
